“Let’s live this Lent, especially in the Jubilee, as a healing time. I am also experiencing it in the soul and in the body,” Pope Francis encouraged in his text prepared for the angel’s prayer on March 30, IV Sunday of Lent.
Therefore, the Holy Father continues in his reflection On today’s Gospel (Lk 15,1-3.11-32), in which Jesus tells the parable of the prodigal son-or the merciful Father-“I thank all those who, in the image of the Savior, are for the neighbor healing instruments with his word and with his science, with his affection and with his prayer.”

“Fragility and disease are experiences that unite us all; but with greater reason we are brothers in the salvation that Christ has given us.”
Pope Francis explains that the Lord, with the parable of the Son who wicked everything and returns to his Father who makes party, “Jesus reveals the heart of God: always merciful to all; heals our wounds so that we can love each other as brothers.”
Pope Francis: Let’s continue praying for peace in the world
The Holy Father encouraged to continue praying for Peace “in the martyred Ukraine, in Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Myanmar, which also suffers both by the earthquake.”
“I follow the situation in South South. I renew my pressing call to all leaders, to do everything possible to reduce tension in the country,” sitting at the table to “start a constructive dialogue” that leads to peace.
Pope Francis also asked that in the neighbor Sudan a “lasting solution” to the war, and encouraged the international community to “redouble their efforts to deal with the terrible humanitarian catastrophe.”
The Holy Father then put as a positive example “the ratification of the agreement on the delimitation of the border between Tayikistan and Kyrgyzist, which represents an excellent diplomatic result. I encourage both countries to follow this path.”
To conclude, Pope Francis begged for “Mary, a mother of mercy, helps the human family to reconcile in peace.”
